SC Playbook - NRL Supercoach 2025, is Ponga the No.1 target?

The Knights have a few question marks around their round 1 spine, along with a soft early draw, so is it worth paying up for superstar fullback Kalyn Ponga to start the season?

In this week's edition of the SC Playbook podcast, 2020 NRL Supercoach runner-up Tim Williams, 2019 champion Dez Creek, Max Bryden and Matty the Waterboy are on deck for the fourth episode of the 2025 pre-season.

The boys evaluate the players given price reductions to start the season, having missed large chunks of last year, headed by Warriors playmaker Luke Metcalf.

They continue their team previews, with the Newcastle Knights, New Zealand Warriors, Parramatta Eels and Canberra Raiders.
